SUMMARY:Edward Said: Between Worlds AMC NEWCITY 14\, Screen 01 with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:Celebrated as a prophet and vilified as a terrorist\, Edward Said was America’s most outspoken\, charismatic\, and eloquent supporter of Palestine for over 25 years. This fascinating documentary traces Said’s personal and professional life—born a Catholic in Jerusalem in 1935\, he went on to teach at Columbia University—alongside the history of the Palestinian people\, from the Nakba to the Intifadas. It deftly weaves together Said’s political awakening with the larger geopolitical and ideological tensions that defined his life’s work. \nTo tell this story of personal and social change\, filmmaker Maiken Baird unearths never-before-seen-material from Said’s family archive. Through skillfully edited clips from interviews\, lectures\, and popular talk-shows (from Donahue to Charlie Rose)\, Said defends his monumental book Orientalism and the rights of the Palestinian people. Provocative and complex\, Edward Said: Between Worlds offers not only a fascinating sketch of a groundbreaking humanist thinker\, but also a profound examination of exile\, identity\, and oppression. \nLanguage English\, Arabic \nRun Time 107 minutes \nAccessibility: Assistive Listening Devices\, Audio Description\, Closed Captions \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/edward-said/

SUMMARY:Stand Up at Chicago History Museum with the Chicago International Film Festival
DESCRIPTION:After a night out drinking with friends in Rotterdam ends in a terrible crash\, twentysomething Vera wakes in the hospital to discover one of her legs has been amputated. Frustrated and angry\, she struggles to accept her new reality until she encounters kindred spirit Xander inside her rehabilitation facility. Frank and funny\, he has no patience for the platitudes offered to people with disabilities and no particular interest in following the institution’s rules. As Vera develops charged feelings for Xander\, she also embarks on her own journey to understand how to live life on her terms while navigating the world in a wheelchair. \nDutch director Mari Sanders\, who himself uses a wheelchair\, delivers a smart\, engaging and refreshingly unsentimental feature debut powered by winning\, naturalistic performances from leads Lucia Zemene and Daan Buringa. Sanders’ decision to cast actors living with disabilities to portray the film’s disabled characters grounds Stand Up in genuine authenticity\, depicting a community too seldom seen on screen. \nLanguage: Dutch\, English\nRun Time: 95 minutes \nAccessibility: ASL Interpreted\, Audio Description \nWebsite: https://www.chicagofilmfestival.com/film/stand-up/
